On last week's food pages, we gave a recipe for roast beef, but omitted to give advice on where to get really good meat.
You can buy rib of beef on the bone in some supermarkets but not all. And you are likely to get a much more rewarding result if you use a good butcher. Here are two butchers that do proper, dry-aged beef via mail order by phone or internet. James Whelan Butchers: 052-82477, www.jameswhelanbutchers.com.
